Rhoda AI Robotics Test Engineer at Rhoda AI develops automated test frameworks and validation environments to ensure robot reliability across hardware, firmware, and software. The role involves debugging complex failures and generating data to inform engineering decisions.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain automated test frameworks that improve validation coverage and reduce manual testing effort across hardware, firmware, and software systems
Build scalable hardware-in-the-loop and system-level validation environments that accurately represent real-world operating conditions
Identify, reproduce, and help resolve complex multidisciplinary failures before they impact product milestones or deployments
Maintain traceability between product requirements, test execution, and validation results across development programs
Generate high-quality performance, reliability, and characterization data that informs engineering decisions and product readiness

Qualification

Programming proficiency in Python

Required

3+ years of experience in test engineering, robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related engineering discipline
Programming proficiency in Python, C++, or both
Experience working with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C, or UART
Hands-on experience using laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and power supplies
Experience using version control systems such as Git in collaborative engineering environments
Strong systems-thinking mindset with the ability to understand interactions across hardware, firmware, software, and robotics subsystems
Excellent debugging and root-cause analysis skills grounded in data and experimentation
Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly present technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred

Experience developing and maintaining automated test frameworks and validation infrastructure
Experience with Linux-based development environments and real-time operating systems
Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop testing, robotic systems validation, or electromechanical product testing
Experience designing test fixtures using CAD tools
Your test infrastructure directly gates what ships - the confidence engineering teams have in the robot's performance runs through the systems you build
Rare opportunity to work across hardware, firmware, and software on a single platform, with direct visibility into how issues get caught, root-caused, and fixed before they reach the field
High ownership in a small team - you'll shape the validation methodology itself, not just execute a pre-defined test plan
